La Liga | Round 10: Atletico Madrid - FC Barcelona 1-0

[fergus90]

Much like Setien, Koeman's misguided trust in the seniors at this rate will cost him his job at the end of the season.

 

[kattanib]

We can do a 433 formation with Puig as a third midfielder and Coutinho up with Messi and Dembele

 

[Richard.H]

Messi not playing well at all, his ridiculous 1-2s not working as usual. Pedri woeful, need Coutinho on. Griezmann invisible. Dembele decent.

He is looking for Alba too much which is becoming very predictable. Besides that I think he did well given how good ATM is at the back

 

[eaman]

Why is Dembele so fragile? Does he do any weightlifting/muscle exercises?

Probably never drank his milk as a child or anytime in his life

Koeman probably doesn't have any ideas worth pursuing long-term.

I don't see anything. We play like Villareal with astronomic wages.

That frontline looks tragic on paper. Not that Griezmann, Pedri, Dembele or Messi have any synergy either though.

Id bring in Braithwaite and Coutinho for Pedri and Griezmann

So far we've had three coaches who have fully trusted the seniors. It's not going to change with a fourth coach. It might get even worse with Xavi. Nothing is changing unless all seniors are gone + maybe even Lenglet and MATS

Who does he have? Dest? Still adapting.. Trincao? Failed to impress.. Puig? He does not see him suitable. He gave Pedri so many chances and so did he with Fati and is clearly willing to play anyone who proves himself

 

[JerseyAddict]

This team is a tragedy.

Messi had one good pass to Dembele... other than that he was awful. Barely moved an inch to give options to team mates, constanstly gave away ball or led to turnovers by forcing ball into team mates in bad areas.

As for his chance at an angle... that was woeful how slow and flat footed he was and fucked it up.

 

[Givenchy]

This team has no leadership whatsoever. no fighting spirit, no personality.. nothing.

If you are going to the toilet and you have to crap anyways, all you can do is hope you crap a solid clean one that does not cause a mess. That is what Barca attack has come to these days.

 

[Andresito]

No way we're winning this. Horrible and uninspired. We need individual brilliance if we play like this, individual brilliance that doesn't exist in our squad.

 

[Rory]

We haven't been good but take away ter clown and it's 0-0 against atletico. Not sure what else can be expected. This fixture for any team goes like this
